NECKTlE-FAST'ENER AND REVERSIBLE SCARF-BAND HOLDER.

SPECIFICATION forming part o Letters Patent No. 333,642, dated January 5, 1886.

Application filed August 21, 1885. Serial No. 175,022. (No model.)

To a/ZZ wiz/0m may concern:

Be it known that I, LEON LEMOS, a citizen of the United States, residing at San Francisco, in the county of San Francisco and State of California. have invented a new and useful Necktie-Fastener and Reversible Scarf-Band Holder, of which the following is a specification.

Referring to the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification, Figure l is a back view of a reversible neckscarf with my holder attached to the end of the neckband. Fig. 2 is aview in section and perspective of the holder. Fig. 3 is aviewin perspective of the holder adapted to a necktie.

My invention consists of aplate bent double, or so as to form two spring-leaves, A, between which the end of the neckband B of the reversible scarf is placed, in which position it is stitched through and through the band by means of the holes or perforations C, thus forming a double catch or hook upon both sides ofthe end of the neckband, as shown.

In practice the small end of the neckband is passed up under the shield D through the opening in the scarf and drawn outward until one of the leaves of the holder engages with the lower edge of the shield when the band is passed around the neck ofthe wearer and into the opposite opening of the scarf, and conned by means of the pin E in the usual way.

When it is desired to reverse the scarf, the band is drawn backward from its position and inserted in the reversed end of the scarf in the same manner as before described, and thus both of the leaves of the holder may be employed alternately to receive the edge of the shields of the scarf where two different colors are employed in the manufacture of the scarf, in which case the band will also be made of the two different colors to correspond with the color of the scarf, and either side of the band employed as a holder.

In making use of my device for neckties and for scarfs where turndown-collars are worn, it is provided with an elastic loop-one or two-conned to either one or both of the leaves of the holder through the medium of the holes or perforations, so that if one loop is worn out or becomes useless the other may be employed, andthe holder is placed in the center of the shield of the neck tie or scarf, the leaves of the holder straddling the edge of the shield,when the elastic loop is arranged upon the collar button or stud of the neck of the wearer and holds the necktie or scarf in position. By this means a simple and reversible neck tie or scarf holder is had of great utility.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, 1s-

In a neck tie or scarf for neck-wear, the reversible holder consisting ofa metal plate bent double to form two catches or leaves, and provided with holes or perforations, constructed, arranged, and operating substantially in the manner as described.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing I have hereunto set my hand and seal.
